lindanelson Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 The cyclo is all I've used. Love it. It gives my lotion/cream a nice silky feeling. Body spray is wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGirl Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I stopped using cyclo in my lotions because I felt like it was drying things out instead of moisturizing. That could have been because of some other ingredients, tho. I'm sticking with cyclo for body sprays and perfumes.I've moved to dimethicone in my lotions, am slowly adding it in to all the new batches I make and I like it much more. I use a thicker version from Lotioncrafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trishsmecca Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I prefer dimethicone in all skin care or lotion products as I dont care too much for the feel of lotion with cyclo...I do use cyclo for dry perfumes and hair products though.Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissMary Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I don't make myself, but the times I've ordered from others on here - I have to admit, the dime is much better feeling than the cyclo after a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot seem to find it anywhere else closer to the east coast. I can only find cyclo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kymber Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 what percentage in lotions would you recommend?LauraIn my one formula I am using it at 1.55% ... another at 2%. I buy mine at The Sage and buy it 4 gallons at a time to get better pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I use cyclo for dry oil body sprays and it is great. I haven't put it in lotionsI use dimethicone for lotions! I had to search high and low for Dimethicone when I first started using it. I saw it listed in the ingredients of my favorite lip softener and I had to have it. I'm not sure where it is that I got it. I will look it up for you after I get home from New York. I do remember that it was not a place that I usually order from.
